E.24. Alluring Performance!

Sidharth quietly observed Sana getting ready infront of the mirror.

Sana: Sidharth, I will be back soon from the market. If you need anything just call me. Manju will take care of Manvi so you better take rest.

Sidharth nods his head saying bye to her. Sana drives in her car to the market.

Sidharth slowly sneaks into the room upstairs and checks the box which had Agastya's belongings and memories. He opens the wedding album and looks at the picture of Agastya and gets shocked.

Flashback:

Gunjan's phone starts ringing.

Gunjan: It's him!!

Sidharth: Give me the phone.

Gunjan: No Sidharth. I am scared. He is very dangerous guy. What if he leaks the pictures and videos.

Sidharth: He won't. Give me the phone now.

Gunjan hands him her phone. Sidharth receives the call.

Sidharth: Hello

Blackmailer disconnects the call. Sidharth looks at the phone.

Gunjan: What happened Sidharth?

Sidharth: He disconnected without replying. May be he thought that I am a police. Do one thing, introduce me to him and give me the phone when he calls.

They wait for sometime, and the blackmailer calls her again.

Gunjan: Hello

Sidharth whispers her to put the phone on speaker. She obliges.

Blackmailer: Who picked up the phone earlier? Are you double crossing me? You know I can leak your pictures and videos right?

Gunjan: No no no please. He is my friend from college. He wants to talk to you since he is helping me with the money.

Sidharth shows thumbs up to her.

Blackmailer: (Pause) Fine, I'll speak to him.

Sidharth: Hello, Listen I have an offer for you. Ask me a one time price to shut your dirty blackmailing, I'll give it to you. But you will have to give me all the photos and videos which you have, even those which doesn't belong to Gunjan. Basically, every single girl's respect and modesty.

Blackmailer: Ohhhhh!!! So what are you? A guardian angel of weaker sex or a pornographer who wants to mint money with those videos.

Sidharth: (Angrily) Shows your mentality. Who the hell are you calling a weaker sex? A person who held you in her womb for 9 months. The one who pushed you out of her body. The one who fed you and made you strong enough to stand on your feet to curse her identity on being a women? But ofcourse you won't know the value of it because if you had then you wouldn't have done such a shameful act. So whoever I am that's none of your business. Quote your price.

Blackmailer: Hmm.. 400 Million for the video plus 100 Million for listening to your unnecessary monologue..

Sidharth: Huh!! Fine, since the amount is huge give me few days, I'll arrange it for you.

Blackmailer: I'll call after 15 days. (Disconnects)

Gunjan: 500 Million? Sidharth, how are you going to arrange it.

Sidharth: Don't think much about it. Leave it to me. You should relax and calm down for now. For all the tensions you went through all these years, you need a break.
